Mega Evolutions are a new type of evolution that can only occur during battle. After battle, the pokémon returns to its original form.
How to do Mega Evolutions
To perform Mega Evolutions, you have to defeat Korrina in the Shalour City Gym, then battle her at the top of the Tower of Mastery to obtain your Mega Ring.
The pokémon that can Mega Evolve must hold the required Mega Stone in order to be able to Mega Evolve. For example, Lucario must hold a Lucarionite in order to Mega Evolve.
